Well the photos are all of dingxin (though I don't know if they were taken around the same time; from memory at least one of them looks a bit familiar to me) -- there's at least some operating from cangzhou as well...
How many J20 are there in China now? Does anyone know?
this will be interesting!
I checked some information myself. There is a flying big team 大队of J20s at Dingxin Base and a big team大队of J20s at Cangzhou Base. Each big team has 8 to 12 of j20s, that total about 20 of J20s for the two training bases.
The PLAAF 7th Brigade旅 and the 34th Brigade 旅are equipped with the J20. If each brigade is equipped with a squadron 中队of J20, that total of 12 for the two brigade, if each brigade 旅 is equipped with a big team 大队ofJ20, that total of 20 to 24 for the two brigade.
Therefore, China is equipped with 32 to 40 J20s.

Note: This is very confusing. The Chinese Air Force and the US Air Force have different preparations. Each division of the Chinese Air Force has three regiments. Each regiment has three brigades, and each brigade has three detachments.
So, I changed the name of brigaded to big team, it has 8 to 12 of fighters .
and in PLAAF, some Air Force Squadron has six fighters.
any one know more information, please correct me.

Nope ...
First of all there are so far only the 176th and 172nd Brigades operating the J-20. The 7th operates J-16 and the 34th has J-10A... not sure where you found that info.
Concerning the terms "big and small team" this is IMO most likely related to the fact that the 176th at Dingxin uses one flight of (maybe 8 each) J-16, one of J-10C and one of J-20s within the same brigade and the 172nd will eventually when fully equipped have a complement of 20-24 J-20s but IMO they are unlikely all delivered.
Also NO.
So far the PLAAF had Divisions and Regiments, which were - for most tactical assets - transformed/replaced by Bases and Brigades.
Formerly a Division had each regiment - usually three, but most often only two -, comprising of three flights of about 8 aircraft each.
The new Bases (not to confuse with Air Base) are much larger organisations, several have even more than three brigades but a brigade is still roughly equivalent to a former regiment again comprising of three flights each, so about 3x 8 = 24 aircraft.
